A welsummer ?

[mehzibus]

Here are two pics of "Minx". Bought at twelve weeks early in December. Not yet laying, despite that comb and those wattles... My question is this : is she a true welsummer ? I ask because all pics I've seen and info I've read show welsummers with red earlobes. Minx clearly has white. I'm just curious... .

Welsummers dont have white earlobes or yellow eyes or floppy BIG combs nor a Leghorn type of body either (unless it came from a hatchery).

Thank you for your comments. I guesse when she starts to lay I would have had my answer then. I'm hoping she's not as 'flighty' as my blue leghorn, who was DETERMINED to go over the fence. Despite repeated barricades she kept on flying over... Each time the dog next door would chase her, each time I'd rescue her... the last time was too much, and although she was entirely unharmed, when I picked her up and was carrying her home she had a heart attack in my arms. Desperately sad. I've only her and my light sussex left. Please let Minx have a calmer temperament, and less desire to explore.
Once again, thanks for your help.
